Had a look yesterday at a MV Date Code 2nd generation Glock 17L that was in pretty nice condition for being 20 years old & the seller was asking $475 OTD..
I will see him again in two weeks..
BTW it didn't have the case or 15/17 round magazines etc but did come with one G18 33round magazine..
Also I saw two early 17L tupperware cases for sale at a guys table at one of the local gunshows for $15ea.. Hope there still available if I end up picking the 17L up..
Would $475 be a decent price for a MV date coded = April 1990 G17L in 92% condition with only the one magazine??
I've always liked the feel of the 2nd Generation Glocks as the finger grooves just don't feel right to my hand..
I also have noticed that the earlier G17s took a different slide stop lever with a tab on it that is different than the current style that I have a couple of in my stash of parts..

I found a 2nd Generation G24s Case yesterday @ The Gunshow for $5 & picked it up for my G17L.. They also had a 3rd Gen Tupperware G35 case that I passed on..
It gives my 17L a place to sleep in the safe & stacks great with the other cases..
I always see the newer clam shell cases but wanted an original era one & finally found one..

Is there a Gen4- GLOCK 17L ?
Currently, no. Another member here recently reporting in the General Glocking forum that he had contacted Glock and asked them about Gen4 17L and 24C models, and he was told there wouldn't be any Gen4 longslides (although Gen3 versions of those two models are still being produced occasionally).

EDIT -- Link to the thread I referenced above:

They ARE making Gen4 versions of the G34 and G35, though. That may be as "longslide" as you can get in the newest Glocks.

About 6 months back I picked up a new never fired 17L from a friend of a friend. He had it for several years and never touched it. He decided he wanted something else, and wanted $600.oo for it. I had the six in my pocket, and nearly sprained my arm getting it out.
